Chapter 7: Panel Indicators and Connectors
Front Panel
The Reference 3000 front panel includes two connectors and four backlighted LED indicators.
The cell connections are discussed at great length in Chapter 6. A pin-out diagram of the two cell cable
connectors is in Appendix B.
Counter/Working Connector
The Counter/Working connector is a 15-pin female D-type connector. It contains the high-current connections
between a Reference 3000 and an electrochemical test cell.
The Counter/Working connector is normally connected to a Gamry Instruments-supplied cell cable. Gamry's
Counter/Working cables always include fuses that prevent instrument failure when a battery or other energy
source is improperly connected to the cable.
In addition to the pins used for cell connections, the Reference 3000 Counter/Working Connector also uses
five pins to read a cell cable ID. Gamry's software can compensate for the cell-cable characteristics for optimal
system performance, especially in EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy).
